The microampere meter circuit

The microampere meter gives full scale deflection for 0.1 V input. The current to be measured is passed through a known resistance R and the voltage drop across it is measured.

R33.3KΩ
R4100Ω
D1IN 4001
D2IN 4001

M11 mA meter

The this table shows the relationship between different values of R5 and the current that will give full scale deflection.

R5Full Scale current
100KΩ1µA
10KΩ10µA
1KΩ100µA
100Ω1mA

A high impedance Micro Ampere meter using a 741 .The operational amplifier is used as a non-inverting dc amplifier in which the negative feedback is through a dc meter requiring 1mA for full scale deflection.

Diodes D1 and D2 protect the IC from accidental excessive input voltages and diodes D3 and D4 protect the meter from overloads.


Please send your ideas, those are very important for our success…
